R.E.A.L. Bagel Decarie attracts strong praise for fresh, flavorful bagels that many consider among the best in Montreal, with a larger, fluffier texture and a wide variety including all dressed and onion garlic options, plus other baked goods and sandwiches that add to the appeal. The staff are described as friendly and helpful, contributing to a welcoming community vibe and turning it into a go to spot for regulars. A few reviews mention higher prices and occasional issues such as a sour cream cheese incident that was not apologized for, along with minor comments on bagel shape or presentation. Overall the place reads as a Montreal staple with consistent quality and flavor, though a minority note room for improvement in value and service.
Best bagels ever. Used to stop here for bagels every day after school for a warm bagel & chocolate milk. Staff was super friendly, & eventually started having it ready for me when I showed up :) they even knew I always wanted a warm one. Great community bagel store
This is my go-to spot for picking up bagels, pre-made sandwiches, & other baked goods! The staff is extremely friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend!
I've only been here once while I was visiting family, & it was absolutely amazing, definitely gonna make sure this is a stop every time I'm in Montreal! Bagels were so fresh, just absolutely perfect the staff were so nice & helpful! & I think I accidentally met one of the owners or something & she was so down to earth & nice! Loved my overall experience here, 10/10 would highly recommend this place to anyone going to Montreal! Definitely telling all of my friends when they travel here!
Génial de pouvoir trouver des bagels frais à 5h du matin !! Très bon accueil. Le choix des variétés de bagels est par ailleurs très limité & je les ai trouvés bien fades même avec du beurre salé...
This isn't bad done in joint & you are going for the bagels primarily although the Soleys food is pretty good in the refrigerator area. I come in a few times a year from New York to stock up in bagels which frankly I like more than ST. Viateur, Fairmont, Montreal West & others. No they aren't tiny & burnt if that's what you mean. Still small by New York standards but a little fluffy, lots of seeds & delicious. I offer the US customs officials every time I go over the border, but they decline. Their loss! Prices have gone up, they charged me a dollar a bag on my last order of $150 so that was a bit of a gauge. Cocktail sandwiches, flat ended egg rolls are yummy as are the lakes... So go, stock up & try the rugalach too.

Like Lance said, KISS (keep it simple Stroll) method when it comes to a bagel fresh out of the oven. Cream cheese smear, lox optional. Bliss! Real Bagel is one stop shopping for us for the Jewish holidays. We love the creamy chopped liver with fried onions, the "Homemade" gefilte fish & matzoh ball chicken soup. Maybe a knish or two lol. A choice of pickles rounds out our dinner!
